The 22 ounce bottle poured a hazy, ripe apricot colored beverage with a small creamy white head that lasted for ever and left excellent lacing on the glass. The aroma presented itself as primarily malty with emphasis on roasted malt but there were also decidedly strong notes of spicy hops as well. The body was medium to light with soft carbonation and a soft, smooth, watery texture. The flavor started off neutral - neither sweet nor bitter. I definitely recognized the flavor imparted to the beer from the use of buckwheat. A slight bitterness developed throughout the medium-long finish.

Tap @ Cole’s. Nose is lightly bready, buttery, slightly spicy. Flavor is grassy, light caramel, slight tartness. Almost like an English IPA with a twist.

Light amber in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas are wheaty (a little sweet) with a bit of floral hops. The flavors are of light malt, soap, and a touch of lychee fruit. Medium to light bodied. My wife really enjoyed this beer, but I found it to be a little dull as compared to other Rogue offerings. Not a bad beer.

Bottle. Hazy golden orange in colour, dissipating cream coloured head, think lace down the sides of the glass. The aroma is slightly sweet, grassy and floral hops, herbal, earth. The flavour is of biscuit malts, floral hops, some lemon zest, slightly sweet. Bitter mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium/light carbonation. Finishes slightly bitter, lingering.

Bottled (Morimoto Soba Ale):Golden coloured. Dense beige head. Sweet and grassy aroma. Is light caramelly. Flavour is sweet and fruity with some herbal notes. Light spices. Is thin bodied. Quite dry and citric. Ends on a light bitter note and has a rather short life on the palate.

The aroma is a nice light hoppish with some malt. The color is golden with a small white head. Light on the palate with a background of orange and some malty sweetness.

65 cl bottle. Unclear golden colour with a little head. Very light aroma of malt. Flavour of wheat and malt. Reminds me of a wheatbeer combined with a lager-style. Speciel.

22 oz bottle of Morimoto Soba Ale: Poured a musty straw color, exceptionally active, with a gigantic head. Almost a lemony aroma that I did not anticipate. The flavor is gristy, almost pasta-like. Very good body for a beer that is otherwise so light in character. I like it.
